Shaking Through – a music project that develops undiscovered artists by giving them two days in a decked out recording studio and a team (nay, a village) or producers, engineers, film and photographers to capture the recording process on one song. With the help of established artists like Sufjan Stevens, Daniel Rossen (Grizzly Bear) and Marissa Nadler – who curate the series and collaborate on the track, these artists are given the opportunity to see their own potential. With every session, some kind of magic happens.

Watch their latest with Cat Martino (touring fixture to the likes of Sufjan Stevens and Sharon Van Etten), ft. Sufjan and Chris Powell from Man Man – as they perform her song, I Promise. It’s so good, I promise.

Shaking Through, a project that showcases artists’ process while recording one song from start to finish, just put out their latest session with Mike Fiore of Faces on Film. This Boston-based band is one of those wonders, because anyone who discovers them instantly loves them yet they’re still relatively unknown. Little known fact, my blog is named after one of his songs. Mike’s contemplative lyricism is filled with dreamlike imagery, narratives that seem mysterious and familiar all at once. The context never matters as much as the content.

The session was curated by Marissa Nadler who has collaborated with Faces on Film in the past – and like the rest of us, has a deep appreciation for the songwriting. Watch Mike perform ‘Waiting for GA’ below and download the track for free, here.
